The motor lodge was quiet enough at the back but suspect could be a bit nosier up the front part we scored a room with a span which was much appreciated as i was still sore from hiking on the glaciers ! Staff where very helpful and recommend a really nice restaurant just a few doors down More

Convenient, clean, plenty of space. Bathroom was a bit odd but that may have been because it was handicap accessible. Not sure if they are all like that. There was no separation of the shower from the rest of the bathroom except for the curtain so the whole floor got a bit wet. They provide a squeegee for the floor... More

Thanks for your review and we hope you enjoyed the glaciers. We have two wheelchair accessible units, both of which have recently refurbished bathrooms with European-style showers. This style of bathroom, with a floor-length curtain separating the shower from the rest of the room, is not a new concept – I first encountered it over 30 years ago while travelling... More

Enjoyed our stay here. There are warnings against cooking aromatic meals (or else face an extra cleaning fee) - not unique to this motel in NZ. The rooms are large and comfortable. The spa apartment has a bedroom, a good stove and a good range of kitchen equipment. The spa was a one-person (or two small people or two *very*... More

We're glad you enjoyed your stay and appreciate your review. The Motel Association of New Zealand, to which we belong, suggests to its members that they request guests not to cook strong smelling food, such as fish or curry, in order to avoid lingering odours that may be offensive to subsequent guests.

Walking distance to supermarket, pub and restaurant. Only a few minutes drive to the center of town. the owner was very friendly and gave excellent advice on driving tours we... More

We spent one night here in April and the rooms were spacious and very comfortable. We have been traveling through the south island and the one thing we haven't been able to find was kumara chips! The very helpful man when we checked in called local businesses and told us the one place in the area we could get some!... More

Ian & Tui had only been in residence for a few weeks when we arrived, having taken over from Graeme & Jill who we booked with. We used TA from the UK to choose this stop and it didn’t disappoint, even if we didn’t pay for the top spec room. Ours was clean if a little compact, with no separate... More

Greetings Wallace and Gromit! It appears that we may have given you the wrong impression re the spa bath in your unit, for which we do apologize. Our spa baths are used often and there is certainly plenty of hot water. If you are ever back this way, we hope that you will stay with us again so that you... More

We stayed here in January 2012 when travelling round the S Island. Its situated a little outside of the main town area - but on the main road so was relatively easy to find. The owner had only taken possession 2 days before - and it was very busy - so he was a man under pressure - BUT -... More

Conveniently located just out of town opposite the aquatic centre. I’d booked months earlier and couldn’t remember what it was like but my expectations were quite low – especially as it was just a place for one night, Greymouth being one of those places you stop at because it’s simply a midway point between 2 other places. How wrong I... More
